It was great to meet you tonight, starlyricist. Wish you could have convinced your friends to go to Fez. Are you going to the second show on the 30th?
In any case, tonight was an absolute blast. Well, when I wasn't kicking myself, but that's a whole other story. Such beautiful voices on all of them, it was especially nice to hear the lesser used performers from the show get a chance to showcase what they can do.
However, the stars still seem to remain Michael, John and Jenna. The more I hear Jenna sing, the more impressed I am by the strength of her voice. I guess she's an actress, because she pulled off that "this was originally from Bare" routine without blinking an eye. That song and Scott's song, alone, was some of the funniest, original material I've heard in forever.
Michael's compositions astound me, given his age. I guess he's what you would classify as a true prodigy. The last song he sang just broke my heart (I'm sorry, I couldn't understand the name of the man who composed it, John something or other).
John and Natalie sounded fantastic on Origins of Love (and Natalie on her solo Christina Aguilera song).
It was well worth the soaking wet, dripping mess I wound up as. I can't wait for the next one!
